It will allow faster duplication of production capacities at one of the country\u2019s key defence enterprises, <a href=\"https:\/\/mod.gov.ua\/news\/proyektuj-i-buduj-pidpriyemstva-opk-ukrayini-zmozhut-shvidshe-dublyuvati-svoyi-virobnichi-potuzhnosti\">according<\/a> to <a href=\"\/?tag=minoborony\">the Ministry of Defence<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Current legislation requires that every stage of construction proceed sequentially, from design to commissioning. Each subsequent phase cannot begin until the previous one is completed, which significantly slows down the development of new production facilities. The new approach simplifies the construction process: under the updated rules, design and construction within the experiment can proceed in parallel, rather than following the traditional sequential stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The text of the document has not yet been published, but it is already known that the participating enterprise will be permitted to conclude contracts for water, gas, heat and electricity supplies without a declaration of readiness for operation or a certificate. This will make it possible to launch production more quickly and ensure uninterrupted supplies of defence products to state customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-align-left wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/thedefender.media\/en\/2025\/11\/octopus-goes-into-serial-production\/\"><strong>Read more: <\/strong>Three Ukrainian companies are launching serial production of Octopus interceptor drones<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the mechanism is tested, it is expected to be extended to other areas of the domestic defence industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDesign and Build\u201d is a European Design-build practice that involves tendering for complete turnkey projects. In Ukraine, the initiative was announced by Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko in July this year.
